Boom...

Accompanied by the distant explosion following the barrage, Feng Yi felt the earth shake beneath him, dust filled the sky obscuring the sun, covering him and the unconscious soldier next to him in a thick layer of dirt and ash.

Without wasting time, Feng Yi used a chop with his hand to cut open the large med kit, pulled out two bandages, and rapidly wrapped them around the soldier's wound. Swiftly picking up a heavy machine gun, he leapt out of the trench and raced towards the next location that needed support. Once the machine gun was fully preheated, he fired it wildly while running. Precision wasn't necessary in this situation; as long as he wasn't blind, all he had to do was aim into the crowd of soldiers. Whether he hit his target or not was simply left to chance.

After all, the battlefield was too complicated for him to have the energy to aim accurately. This chaotic battlefield was far more terrifying than any situation as you never know when a bullet, a piece of shrapnel, or something else could take your life, even Feng Yi couldn't afford to be careless.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Two black spots whizzed past, almost grazing him. One was a round from a 07 caliber machine gun fired from the rear by one of his comrades and the other was shrapnel from the explosion of a landmine deployed by the Empire's Mecha clusters. At the same time, Feng Yi was also paying attention to changes on the tactical device.

Now, there were still approximately 3 minutes left until the arrival of the Flame Legion on the battlefield. Three minutes wasn't enough time for the slow-moving Empire's Mecha clusters to reach the trenches. He needed to do his utmost to restrict the movement range of the Empire's Mecha. With this in mind, Feng Yi once again vaulted over to the trench hundreds of meters ahead.

Nearly all of the resistance fighters in this trench had been killed. If not by the gunfire, then by the subsequent explosions. However, this meant there was no shortage of weapons. Feng Yi ran and shot while picking up fallen weapons without any fear of running out of ammunition. For him, at this moment, the weapon with the greatest destructive power were not the laser-guided weapons and medium cannons, but the tiny Needle Leaf Armor-Piercing Grenades.

The Needle Leaf Armor-Piercing Grenade doesn't have a large killing radius, but its unparalleled penetration ability was terrifying. The safe throwing distance of 300 meters was ten times that of a normal grenade. But this wasn't a problem for Feng Yi; for him, it was rather effortless.

The sound of gunfire from the rear was continuous and amidst the strong wind, he managed to throw all the boxes full of Needle Leaf Armor-Piercing Grenades in the trench to the enemy. However, terrifyingly, a grenade that Feng Yi had thrown was hit in mid-air by a random artillery shell and was sent flying back towards him. Shocked, he hurriedly focused his Mental Power to successfully dodge the explosion and shrapnel.

The voice of Takla came from the tactical device, "How much longer until the Flame Legion arrives? My people can't hold on much longer, and we're running low on ammunition."

"Approximately one minute until they reach the battlefield. If we can hold on for one more minute, we will win."

"One minute. Are you sure we can win against the Empire's forces?"

"We can be pretty certain." Feng Yi sent the 3D strategic simulations he had previously created to Takla via the tactical device, "The Empire's forces have overreached. They're being harassed by our firepower from the front, flanked by the Flame Legion on both sides, and their rear lacks proper cover. Coupled with the considerable gap between the models of the 9th Generation Mecha, I can't find a reason why we would lose this battle."

Undeniably, Feng Yi's strategic plan was comprehensive. "Alright, I trust your judgment," Takla said, his voice steady. "After this is over, we'll split the spoils 55-45."

"The Resistance needs equipment more than the Flame Legion does, so I'll only take what I deserve." With that, Feng Yi cut off the Heavenly Communication and threw himself wholeheartedly into the battle.

Far away on the horizon, mist-like shapes seemed to rise continuously from the Death Desert.... In an instant, countless Flame Soldiers had silently rushed into the battlefield, weapons blazing.

Due to the interference from the beautiful intelligence officer, the Empire's Mecha clusters didn't notice the abnormality for the first few moments. The ghost-like stealth snipers didn't alert the Empire's soldiers until the green light, representing the Empire's forces on the electronic map, vanished to a shocking extent. This finally triggered their awareness.

By the time they became aware of the situation, it was already too late.

The Flame Legion, like a thief caught in the act, when they realised they had been found out, instantly went into a frenzied all-out assault. Their average operation speed had risen to 120, which was considered elite in military terms. At this moment, the Flame soldiers were like the wind and lightning, driving back the Empire's Mecha clusters that were almost upon the trenches.

Boom, boom, boom, boom,under the destructive power of the large-caliber main guns, the frontline soldiers of the Empire were thrown into disarray...

"Quick, quick, counterattack!"

"Commander, our right flank is surrounded."

"What, right flank?"

Before he could finish speaking, reports sounded from the other side of the communicator, "Commander, our left flank is also being surrounded."

"Damn it, fight with them, break out!" Following the commander's order and without fully understanding the situation, the Empire's soldiers, who valued their lives like gold, instantly launched an assault in three directions. They all roared "Long Live the Empire!" as if they were going to their deaths, resulted in a number of their comrades falling but still they couldn't break out of the encirclement.

In contrast, the Flame Legion had yet to suffer a single casualty. Their formation was orderly and precise. How was this possible? Not even super soldiers could remain unscathed under concentrated fire.

Takla, who had been quietly observing, suddenly looked up at the distant sky. The Flame Legion... was not to be underestimated. Hidden in the smoke, they were like a band of ghosts. It's likely that the Empire's soldiers wouldn't even know how they died even in death.

But Takla saw it all clearly. Of course, the Flame Legion weren't that powerful, but their coordination with each other could well make up for their deficiencies. They were arranged in an orderly manner. They had their shields raised and ready for the Empire's concentrated fire. The moment the shields changed color, the soldiers in the rear were ready to replace them. Whenever the Empire's soldiers reached their saturation point in firepower, this well-coordinated team would immediately take turns to replace the front line.

With the low visibility caused by the dense smoke and the interference with the intelligence messages, it was natural that the Empire's soldiers would be at a disadvantage.

At this moment, the Flame soldiers were giving a full 120% of their fighting spirit. "Heh, heard there's booze after the fight," one of them murmured. Presently all the soldiers were eager to move forward, hoping to perform more meritorious deeds. Don't forget, the 9th Generation Mecha assembly had an evaluation system for battlefield contributions. In reality, it was akin to the car dash cams of hundreds of years ago. The evaluation system of the 9th Generation Mecha was primarily a means to evaluate the merits of the soldiers and secondly, a tool to monitor some of their comrades.

However, all of this was built based on the design of Bergheide's Feiha Arms Factory. The Federation just didn't bother to modify it. In fact, the Federation's top brass unanimously believed that this battlefield recording system was quite good. It recorded every action of every soldier, whether you were a hero, villain, or nobody.

Of course, the mobile suit was as essential as an identity card for each soldier, and they had to maintain it after daily use. The top brass wouldn't casually check your mecha unless necessary.
